14 more days until we see the Kia Ray Concept. Just 2 more weeks. That is 336 Hours, 20160 Minutes and 1209600 seconds. Get ready.

So um what do you guys think the Ray Concept’s face is gonna look like? Hmmm, if the K9 image is really the next Optima then we still don’t know what the face of the Ray Concept looks like yet. I don’t think Kia will bring more teasers for us to view (it would be nice). They probably will just show it’s face on Feb 10th just like no one knew how the Kia Kue concept’s face looked like until the NAIAS opened. I already like the K5′s face better than the next Sonata. It has that sporty and aggressive appearance that is ready to attack its prey.

Will I see that image of the so called K9 may be the K5. The bumpers are very simular. The lines on the hood aren’t and neither or the headlights. The K9′s headlighs look more like the Kia KND-4 concept. The optima still has the family lights and all but it’s nice to see some differances. The bumper reminds me of some mouth that is ready to bite. The animal mouth like bumper is also found on the Kue and KND-4 concepts. Hmmm, it seems this may look better than the K7. But when the K7′s leds are lite, it sure is nice looking too. I can’t wait to see more. Oh yeah did anyone see the next Honda Odessy. Let me tell you that thing has the face only a monther can love. All it is is the Honda Cross Tour with a different body. The Forte and Sorento look the same but also look different just like the Cadenza and the K5.

I have to agree with mueludo these are so pitiful photos. What’s the point of seeing an exterior mirror and part of automatic climate control and a fog light and a tailight? You can see the entire interior of the next Elantra.

I see mueludo is very serious about shopping.

Mueledo, even if I agree with you, I somehow must say I’d rather have bad quality out of focus pictures than no pics at all… I these are worth a serious descussion ’bout quality of plastics is of course an other issue…

Grainy, out of focus “pictures” of bits and pieces of dash and bumper – please. stop wasting our time with this junk. If there are real pictures worth posting, then post them. If not, I think I’ll be able to live a few days without.

Greg, test mules not always have cheap interiors…
Test mules do however carry a lot of camo and a lot of measuring equipment of all sorts, so this is NOT a test mule but a pre-production car. The car is due within the next six months, so the testing phase is long behind!
Anyway, the pics are not of the quality we can clearly see the quality of the plastics (which I sincerely hope will be better than the Soul’s…)

I still think that Soul is KIA’s best product by far. Its so a cult car!!!

I truly HOPE, that’snot the interior. My parents are thinking of this car to replace their old Sonata (03) And interior at this level won’t impress them
